Re:ZFS: Use mirror vdevs, not RAIDZ by Dylan16807 on Thursday December 10, 2020 @01:51PM (#25376989)
It's hard to price a backup service per byte when all the value comes from software. At the small end there's barely any profit, and at the big end the costs get ridiculous.

Yeah I don’t begin to understand the economics. I was just surprised at the difference.

I naively thought storage is cheap so backups are too.
